Dear John,
During the Democratic National Convention, over 200 people attended an interfaith vigil organized by AFSC in Chicago. The vigil honored the more than 40,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza—many with U.S. weapons. Faith leaders from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities spoke alongside those who had lost loved ones. Together, they called for a permanent cease-fire and an end to U.S. weapons sales to Israel. Speakers also read aloud testimonies from AFSC staff in Gaza. Read more.
